Why

Dunno about you but i was pretty scared when i was real young with any bridge that passed over a flowing river. I always had the notion that one strong gust of wind and the damn thing will collapse


Now i have seen too many and you tend to appreciate awesome engineering that goes into building one. Three Gorges itself, inspite of the enormous environmental damage it has done, is still a superb feat. If you consider the destruction that the Yangtze brings about every year in China with flooding and this can actually control that, you really do appreciate what a great impact this would have. Personally i wold have loved to work on this construction project
